COLUMBUS -- Today our Attorney General called synthetic drugs a "plague" threatening our communities.
Mike DeWine now wants a new tool to catch up with pushers.
DeWine says drug makers constantly come up with new variations on bath salts and other synthetic drugs to avoid being covered by legal definitions.
So to make sure police can pounce on those new drugs, DeWine's asking the Ohio State Pharmacy Board to ban those new compounds as soon as they are discovered by law enforcement.
